Power went out for more than 1,400 Arizona Public Service (APS) customers in and around downtown Prescott midday Monday, March 2.

The outage began at 11:07 a.m. and extended east of downtown to Yavapai College.

The utility company said the outage was due to a service interruption to one of its power lines that feeds to several areas.

Though they initially estimated it would take until about 3 p.m. to completely restore the power, everyone was back online by 12:57 p.m.

Suzanne Treviño with APS said the exact cause was unclear.
